In the form of Commonwealth Edison power lines and disused catenary supports left over from the Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee era, electric infrastructure abounds in the CTA Yellow Line corridor in Skokie. The previous two companies were once both owned and controlled by Samuel Insull- the South Shore Line, Chicago Aurora & Elgin, and several other interurbans and regional electric power suppliers were also all under his control.
The Great Depression eventually ruined his finances and ownership passed to others, but it was under his leadership that all three systems became the modern, high-density, high-speed lines they were in their day, and resulted in their survival where most other interurbans failed during the 1930s. Without his improvements to the South Shore in particular, "The Last Interurban" almost certainly would not have lasted to become the major commuter and freight hauler it is today.
A brief, but intense rainstorm had just moved through the area, and sunlight was playing on the wet, labyrinthine steel structures and the glistening vegetation beneath them- perfect conditions for framing a CTA train right in the center of the image... but the fast-changing weather meant the sun was quickly obscured by more clouds before a train showed up.
A typical covered passageway in Venice. Taken on my Rolleiflex TLR. Scanned on a 9900F Canon. I'm quite sure the film was expired but the photos still turned out pretty nicely.
Good Morning!
Another image from my recent trip to New York City. The center building is the Freedom tower.

31432 brings the 5-Coach 17.19 service from Manchester Victoria into Southport on the 13th June 1994. There is much unused railway infrastructure on view here including the disused remains of the former excursion platforms, complete with toilet block buildings. The tracks over which the 31 has travelled into Southport were once electrified as far as Meols Cop on the fringe of the town. Along with the line to Preston, the electrics ceased to run along the route in September 1964.
Último exponente de la legendaria Escuadra de Sarmiento, la corbeta Uruguay intervino en revoluciones, rescates, expediciones, y fue incluso sede flotante de la Escuela Naval, su acción más destacada se realizó entre 1901 y 1903 cuando al mando del almirante Julián Irizar apoyó y luego rescató a la expedición antártica de Otto Nordenskjöld. Quitada de servicio en 1962 fue declarada en 1967 Monumento Histórico Nacional y como tal hoy se exhibe amarrada en el dique 4 de Puerto Madero, en la ciudad de Buenos Aires.
De ruwbouw van de tunnel is gereed en het spoor ligt er al grotendeels.
The construction works are finished and the rail laying makes good progress.
